About this Item

Meet Little Bear, a friend to millions of children. And meet Mother Bear, who is there whenever Little Bear needs her. When it is cold and snowy outside, she finds just the right outfit for Little Bear to play in. When he goes to the moon, she has a hot lunch waiting for him on his return. And, of course, she never forgets his birthday. This classic from Else Holmelund Minark and Maurice Sendak was written in 1957 and remains as beloved today as it was then. An ALA Notable Children's Book (faux sticker illustration on front cover says so!), this Level One I Can Read is full of warm and lovingly playful stories that are perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences.
